Each year, the Battle Creek Area Clean Water Partners host a photo contest to celebrate the natural beauty of the Kalamazoo River Watershed in Calhoun County. Local photographers — both youth and adults — are invited to submit their best shots showcasing scenery, wildlife, and recreation in and around the watershed’s rivers, lakes, and tributaries.
Winning entries receive cash prizes in both youth and adult categories, and selected photos may be featured in the Calhoun County Community Calendar.
Contest Highlights:
Open to youth and adult photographers
Up to four photo submissions per person (seasonal variety encouraged)
Photos must be taken within the contest period (typically July 1–July 31 of the following year)
All entries must be landscape-oriented and taken within Calhoun County’s Kalamazoo River Watershed
